Earlier today we shared the preview of G.I.Joe #219 – Cobra World Order. Mr. Adam Riches, the artist behind the variant cover, shared some info via his Facebook page. Check it out –
My cover run on IDW Publishing‘s G.I. Joe A Real American Hero series kicks off with #219 (Snake Eyes), part 1 of Cobra World Order!
To clarify, these comic book covers were hand painted using traditional media made to look like action figures, and are entirely separate from the packaging art illustrations I do for the actual G.I. Joe toys. So what I’m trying to say is if you want to own a copy (and for the swell price of $3.99, howcould you not?!), head to your local comic store tomorrow, not a toy store. On that note, all of the original art for these next 8 issues has already been sold. Thanks for all the early inquires, everyone! Can’t wait to share the rest of this series and my next project with you all!
I had to do a double take when I first saw this cover, as I thought it was a picture of the original carded figure. Well played, Adam. Well played.
Make sure to grab your copies of G.I.Joe ARAH #219 – Cobra World Order tomorrow!

Yikes! Who's doing the artwork on these? Is it still Gallant? I've seen Gallant's pencils and I REALLY like his work--such an eye for detail and action. But maybe it's the inker and the colorist I don't like. Inks are too heavy handed and colors just feel... I don't know. The artwork doesn't interest me.

Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but didn't we *just* have a "carded Snake Eyes Action Figure" variant cover, like, 4 issues ago?
